Cons
Con Doesn't have much longevity
The entire game is based around combat, which works in small doses. For longer playtimes though, it can get pretty repetitive. That goes for the extra content unlocked through the in-app purchase as well - it's more of the same in new levels.
Con Free gameplay is limited to ten levels
The gameplay is free up to the tenth level, at that point an in app purchase has to be made of which there are three depending on how much content you want. $3 unlocks the rest of the levels, while $4 nets you more in-game items, and $5 gets you everything available as well as the Dark Harvest game mode.
Con Only works on limited devices
TinyKeep, being a very graphically intensive game has been ported specifically for Tegra K1 devices with newly added support for the Tegra 4. Sadly this means that devices without a Tegra K1 or 4 will not be able to run the game.
